I have the option to keep an all-sophomore outfield of Wyatt Langford, Jackson Merrill, and Jackson Chourio. What am I most likely to regret, and what other profiles do I need around them?
Justin Mason
10:27
You will regret nothing with that outfield. Those are all studs.
Aldo Rayne

Do you think Trevor Larnach will at least be the strong side of a platoon for the twins to open the year?
Justin Mason
10:28
I do and I think he is going to hit in the middle of the lineup and is a nice value in fantasy right now for deeper leagues.
I need more questions!

best bargain signing of the offseason so far?
Justin Mason
10:31
I think it would be between Gleyber Torres and Christian Walker. Love a low risk investment in a guy that has been a top tier second baseman. Walker isn't cheap, but he has really good skills and is made for that park. When Joc Pederson gets 2 for $37 getting Walker at 3 for $60 feels really nice

In a 12 team keeper points league would you be comfortable going 3 years on King, McClanahan, Springs or Woo. Prices are either $9 for one year, 8$ and 13$ for 2 years or 7$-12$-20 for 3 years
Justin Mason
10:32
Give me McClanahan here
King is interesting if you can opt out if he gets hurt
Stephen

Where does Moncada wind up and does he have anything left?
Justin Mason
10:33
At best he gets a minor league deal. Maybe he ends up in Japan or Korea tbh
Mel

How do you rank the M's starters? Feels like Gilbert may have stepped past Kirby last year
Justin Mason
10:34
Gilbert, Kirby, Castillo, Miller, Woo

Does Kerkeri g have a chance to be Phillies closer? If so, when?
Justin Mason
10:35
I think he does if Romano falters or gets hurt. I would definitely be stashing him early in the season. I could also see them just doing the committee thing again though

Do you think Festa spends the whole year in the Twins' rotation?
Justin Mason
10:35
I do

Does Josh Lowe have a chance to become a full-timer or will the health and LHP splits continue to get in the way of that? Not that a 20/20 outfielder is a bad thing, but I wonder if there's ever gonna be a next gear for him.
Justin Mason
10:37
Hard to project he will improve against left handed pitching at this point. The Rays probably won't give him much of a chance to. He only got 50 PAs versus southpaws last season
Paul

I was debriefing my '24 season recently - I knew Chapman had a good year, don't think I fully realized quite how valuable he was. What's your expectation for next year? Can he keep the speed while putting up another 30ish HR?
Justin Mason
10:37
I think the speed is fluky, but the power and gains he made in contact should stick around.
Kate

Josh Bell is essentially an everyday guy in Washington this year (at least to start), right?
Justin Mason
10:38
I think he should be
Real

Jordon Walker at $5 in NL-only $260 10-team league. Keep him (I don't have a lot of keepers), drop him or sign for $10 for 2 years?
Justin Mason
10:38
I would keep him at $5
Kate
10:38
Is there a non-zero chance that Finnegan ends up somewhere he can still be the closer?
Justin Mason
10:39
I still think he does. Once the rest of the field gets figured out, there will be a team that should bring him in for cheap
Ed
10:39
Jeremy Pena was a nice little surprise last year - you expect similar stats this year, or a little regression likely?
Justin Mason
10:40
I think he can keep a lot of the gains from last year and be a really nice accumulator. I do worry that the Houston offense in general will be down so the runs are RBIs may dip
Kenny

I fell ass backwards into scooping Brenton Doyle on a whim last year and dude basically carried me over the second half. But he's gotta fall back to earth this year, right? Dude was just a strikeout machine prior to last season. Not to mention seems like he's prone to injury (aka dives all over the outfield constantly)
Justin Mason
10:41
Doyle made massive changes and gains in contact. I can't remember the last time I saw a player make such huge improvements in contact like that. I am betting on it being legit as it didn't disappear throughout the season.
Anselm

Keeper question - I can keep three, in a roto obp/qs league with 260 auction budget - Jazz at 23, Lugo, Wells, Cowser at 3 each, Trout at 4, and Rooker at 8. Thanks!
Justin Mason
10:41
Trout, Jazz, Rooker
Amish Man

How do you value Bo Bichette in a dynasty league? Still a core piece? A middling guy? Get what you can now and sell?
Justin Mason
10:43
He may be the most difficult player to project right now. I don't know what he is. I just locked him down to a big money deal for three years in a keeper, but I am hoping he has a hot start and I can flip him.
Kate

Where does the Teoscar signing leave Pages in terms of a role to start the year?
